The Ghana Football Association has cancelled next month's international friendly against Kenya, officials have confirmed.

According to a letter sent to the Kenya Football Federation, Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah cannot raise a strong squad for the assignment.

Appiah's plans were affected by the change in date of Ghana's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Khartoum.

The qualifier has been brought forward by one day to 7 June.

The Black Stars were scheduled to play the Harambee Stars on 1 June in Nairobi.

Ghana lined-up the test match before engaging Sudan in a Group D 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

"We have received a letter from Ghana FA informing us they cannot be able to honor the match due to the difficulties they are experiencing in raising a team," A Kenya FA official Hussein Terry told Goal.com

"They remain doubtful especially on the availability of some of their professional players."

Ghana will now begin camping on May 30 before flying over to Nairobi for acclimatization.
